Scripture: Matthew 5: 13-14
You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.
Scripture Commentary: Christians are the salt of the earth.
You have prepared a meal but forgot to season it with salt. It’s tasteless. This is what your life is like without God in it. Jesus says you are the light of the world that cannot be hidden. If you do not acknowledge God and don’t share Him with others, you are hiding that light and leading a tasteless life.
If we, as Christians, make no effort to affect the world around us, we are of no value. We are to be a bright light, not something hidden in a dark place. We are God’s children. So let His light shine for others to see and be drawn to Him.
Live the Christ-like life that God has given you.
Be the nourishment that God intended you to be. Study the Word so you can help others. God has given you a large portion of seasoning and light, so go into the world and spread it around. God did not give it to you for you to put it under a rock.
